Spurs Under-23s commence their campaign in the newly-rebranded Premier League 2 this Monday 15th August when Everton visit The Lamex Stadium (7pm).

Following the success of hosting a number of Spurs Under-21 and Under-18 cup fixtures at Stevenage over the past two seasons, more fixtures in the newly-rebranded Premier League 2 will now take place between August and March.

Everton are first up this Monday and the game kicks-off at 7pm. Tickets for games will cost £5 adults and £2 concession. These will be available in advance in the Stevenage club shop or online at www.borotickets.co.uk. Alternatively fans will be able to pay on the turnstiles on the night. Please note only the West Stand (seats) will be open for these fixtures.

Competition rules

The age limit for eligible players in the new Premier League 2 has risen from Under-21 to Under-23, specifically players born after January 1, 1993. The rules regarding over-age players will remain the same, where each team can field a goalkeeper over the age limit and up to three over-age outfield players in every match. The format for the competition will remain the same, with Spurs' young professionals competing in the 12-team first division.
